Visualization Learning Resources

Many friends ask me to recommend a list for learning Visualization techniques. As I promised, it’s out now!

Best places to learn

d3.js

“D3” is short for data driven document. With d3, you can manipulate DOM with changing data and user input easily. But if you are not familiar with javascript, the learning curve would be a little steep.

OpenProcessing And Processing.js

Processing user like to show off their work on OpenProcessing! Because it’s open, you can learn other’s algorithm and find out techniques to create nice effect but using the ordinary function.
